Alright, well, I thought -- given that everyone else is doing their, their own little polls, I thought I would put up another one. Very easy, nothing strenuous, I promise, just -- where you come from. Your home, I would say, but not everyone must've been living in their home when they were taken, and -- well.

Planets would be more useful, maybe, now that I think of it. Since the point is, given that we have -- nonhumans, and all sorts of people... and, well, I was thinking we could at the very least see the range of planets that it has to have visited or... been able to mysteriously take people from, before we were brought here. A gauge of its abilities. Obscure as they are.

I can't say I'm from anywhere especial myself -- just Earth. I never thought that that would be only an option.

[a text ETA;] Alright, it's been brought up that this falls a little short, so here are some extra questions. Granted, this isn't mandatory, but if you're aware of any of the answers, having a list may help us in the long run.

Time (and calendar)
Planet
Star system
Relevant cluster

Palaven.

But I haven't been home in -- a while.

Oh. I'm... my apologies. Is there a reason why? Unless you don't want to say, that is.

The Astral World.

And... what is the Astral World like?

Might want to toss in a year of origin for Earth as well. On what calendar, too.

[mistermanther.livejournal.com]

[okay, so time is fair game too, presumably both ways. he's not even surprised by this point.] Right. Right, that's smart, thank you. I guess you ask because you're from somewhere particularly different, time-wise?

[bostrumite]

I'm from the Grid. Bostrum, if you want to get specific.

[... gibson is from inside a computer and what is a planet.]

[mistermanther.livejournal.com]

The Grid. Okay. Is there a reason it's named that...? [not really any weirder than Earth must be to HIM, he guesses, but still.]

[babbletechno.livejournal.com]

Cybertron.

[mistermanther.livejournal.com]

I can't say I've heard of it, but I suppose that's becoming a pattern. What's it like?

Good call. I've added that in. I'll see if I can keep a running list of everyone, but I doubt that all of us will reply, and there's only so much I can do, and... well. I'll see.

Still -- Earth! You're from a bit further on than me, but... well, a familiar place, at the least. Am I allowed to ask what happens, or will curiosity kill the cat, do you think?

[constructum]

Would you be willing to share your findings? I'm sort of curious as to where others are from, rather then Earth that is.

permaaudio;

[mistermanther.livejournal.com]

Of course. I hope I didn't imply otherwise, my intent was to sort of -- to try and help out how I could, and management is sort of my calling. One of. One of my callings.

[walksonrooftops]

Sisa is where I come from. From the people I've talked to, I feel like it was on the planet called Earth. I'm not sure about the 'when' part.

permavoice;

[mistermanther.livejournal.com]

How do you mean, 'feel' like it was on the planet Earth? You aren't sure?

[audio]

[testgasm]

More questions!

Don't actually know what year it is. Sort of lost track of time. But I am from Earth! Big underground research facility.

permaaudio;

[mistermanther.livejournal.com]

Ha, yes, more questions. Sort of inevitable when you know basically nothing about what's going on, though, I think.

Research facility for what, then?

Ah -- lots of us from Earth here. I think we're in the lead, actually, as far as planets go.

[voice] and this is where I grab things from every source of canon possible

[hauntedbymemory.livejournal.com]

The year was 3237 on a solar cycle that ran for three hundred and sixty five days.

My homeworld is called Mobius in a star system known as the Milky Way Galaxy in the Virgo Supercluster.

permavoice;

[mistermanther.livejournal.com]

That sounds... a lot like my planet, actually. Was it ever -- hmm. Is Mobius a new name for Earth, or is this some sort of alternate reality thing again?

I come from Prussia in the year 1839, also on Earth.

Oh! Oh, wow, you have quite a bit to catch up on, I imagine. That's Victorian era, isn't it? Er -- I suppose not that you'd call it that, you'd call it modern times...

[statsraaden]

Everyone on my planet call it Earth and we adopted the name. However, I'm sure everyone call their planet Earth regardless of which planet it is.
Well, to be really helpful I would have to know where my planet is relative to yours. I also have no idea of my timeline relative to yours, as I don't know about your respective calendars.

[Alpha Mensae, year 5000 or so]

[mistermanther.livejournal.com]

Really? Any specific reason you think Earth would be universal? I would think that would depend on the language they speak, and such...

[ex_myturn41]

2543, Gregorian calendar.
Earth
Sol
Milky Way galaxy
Local Group

Pinpoint it enough?

[mistermanther.livejournal.com]

More than enough. I don't need the full rundown, technically, but just in case, it's good to... to, you know, have documentation.

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

I was on Silent Earth. Part of Heaven's Fence. I'm certain I'm the only one from there, sadly.

[mistermanther.livejournal.com]

Oh. That's... I'm sorry. Are you settling in alright? Do you need anything? [fussmode ENGAGE]

Mystic Falls, Virginia.

...On earth. And it's 2010 there.

[mistermanther.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're the same as me. Well, not in Mystic Falls, Virginia, so much. I was in Sundberg.
